What a screwed up country we live in

[SHRED]

The fact that tRump's poll numbers aren't in single digits proves it.

1. Rural America loves this guy.

Remember when he said he loved the uneducated.
They love him back.

[SHRED]

2. Yep

Rubes love him.

7. It's not just rural America.

I saw Trump signs on the lawns of very wealthy people in my usually blue city.

These people are bankers, doctors, lawyers in a growing southern city, a county that went for Hillary.

You're fooling yourself if you think it's only rural folks.

8. Those people just love what Trump can do for them.

They are corporate republicans. They always vote for any R. All about their taxes.
They are probably personally repulsed by Trumps behavior. But, they ignore it. Because of their greed.
My opinion, anyway.

3. Xenophobia is nothing new

We had bounties for killing Native American. We enslaved black people. We ran the Chinese out of towns. We racially segregated. We discriminated against Papists. Now we want to round up and deport the Hispanics, block the Muslims. This is standard politics, nothing new. And not just here -

Trump is just the latest.

It sucks but it shouldn't surprise us.

5. Stole lands, ravished other countries, etc.

Hubs and I talked about this on our midnight walk tonight.
And you're right, "it's not just here." What other country, in their history, has not done despicable things? There must be a couple. Point is that much of homo sapiens are selfish and often horribly cruel. But we are evolving and have improved.

9. Yes, world wide death by violence is steadily declining

Extreme poverty, childhood diseases, etc are sharply lower over the past few decades. Trump is just a minor bump in the road in the face of improving history.

4. We do live in a screwed up country - by design since Reagan.

Why do they so determined to undo the ACA? They don't care about people in the conservative movement.

Obama should've probably let the country fall into a deep Depression. We are ungrateful and actually hateful. On both sides.

6. Moral Coma by too many

Amnesia of who America is and stands for...
